Playoff Solutions Assuming they don’t replay the Bengals game.

A Wednesday to Sunday or Thursday to Monday turnaround would be mostly the same as a Sunday to Thursday week. 

 

Otherwise, give Cinci, Buffalo, and KC a bye... Let the other four play wild card weekend but only the winning team with the best record moves ahead to the Divisional round

prsy damar is going to just go home at this point - sounds like a long road

 

praying for the players as well

 

that look of pure terrified horror on Allen’s face says enough for me.  Their kids people forget

 

24 is too young for Hammer…

I would be very surprised if they finish the game. There just isn't enough time and they aren't adjusting the playoff schedule.

They have to and you can play all the way up to Wednesday. If not KC will get #1 seed for no other reason than they didn't play a game.

I know you may not view him as a kid but - a kid at 24 was lifeless in the field and MILLIONS of viewers saw this very team with looks of shock, grief and just horror on their faces.

 

not sure you understand the gravity of this - no seeding and playoffs are legit right now.

 

hell I wouldn’t be surprised if some players walk away after seeing something like this.  I wouldn’t blame the bills if they couldn’t get over this trauma they saw and experienced

Do the Chiefs get #1 seed automatically if the Bills Bengals game doesn't get played?

The issue seems trivial at the moment, but since we’re in this thread … I’d argue that they shouldn’t. As others have pointed out, the Chiefs lost to both teams involved here. Who knows what will actually happen and I wouldn’t be shocked. It would be another “ just give it to ‘em”

You cannot just stop life b.c things happen, that is the worst thing to do. You are overly emotional right now and just lashing thoughts that don't really male sense.

I understand your thought, but the game is not life.. This is unprecedented as far as I know and the NFL has a delicate situation to handle here. They have to be practical and rational but respect the emotions involved at the same time. I don’t envy those who have to make the decision

We’re doomed if this is the solution.  

How are we doomed again? It's just a game.

 

Not trying to change the subject, but I have to mention this: Why did Roger Goodell extend the NFL season to 17 games? He had fears years ago that someone was going to get killed. Yet he extended it anyway.

There is no way to handle this without a team or teams getting a perceived disadvantage.  

Bills are #1 seed now and should stay #1 seed if they win next week. That is the best way.

 

They Already beat KC head 2 head and Cin has no real way of getting #1 unless both the Bills and KC lose on Sunday.

Yes. I agree. We should stay number one. Other teams should be fighting for number 2.

A Wednesday night game is probably what they'll do if we get good news with Hamlin.  They'll pry push the Bills/Pats game and the Bengals/Ravens game to Monday night.  During Covid the NFL was extremely aggressive to make sure all the games were played to the point where the Broncos had to start a practice squad WR at QB.  I'm just guessing at this point though as it's an unprecedented situation.

They’re #2 seed now though, not 1

No they are not.    They go by winning percentage.  13-3 for the chiefs 12-3 for the bills.  Chiefs were the one going into last night by virtue of them winning their game Sunday.

As others have said Damar is likely to remain in ICU for a number of days. I find it hard to imagine them restarting or replaying this game while that is the case. 

 

The NFL if they are smart are not thinking about short term fallout and playoff seeding here but long term fallout and the future of the league.
